Garth Surprises LA Crowd with HueyBack To Country Music News Archive

Garth Brooks’ five live performances this past weekend included a few surprises. The Los Angeles Times reports that Garth's wife, Trisha Yearwood, stopped by to sing “In Another's Eyes” with him. She also sang her hit “Walkaway Joe” with Garth taking Don Henley's part in the duet.

Rocker Huey Lewis joined Garth on stage for their current hit collaboration, “Workin’ for a Livin’.” Huey also offered up a version of his hit, “Bad is Bad,” with Garth standing by taking it all in.

The first concert on Friday aired as the CBS special Garth Brooks: Live in L.A., giving fans who couldn't be at the show an opportunity to watch and donate to the cause. Each of the shows ran about two hours long. The Times reports the first show on Saturday was the most conversational, while the final one lacked a bit of the high energy of the previous four.  

Garth’s goal was reportedly to raise $10 million-dollars for the cause. Half of that came in through ticket sales and donations prior to the show, with proceeds from merchandise concession also to be added to the final tally.
